SEEKIERS OF THE TRUTH? What is this seeking?

Talking about spiritual enrichment- we all have read life history of many great Masters who have left their home at an early childhood- seeking for the TRUTH.

Sometimes I wonder- What is this seeking and what is this truth?

In lives too- we all are seeking something- many things or even one thing- & sometimes without being aware of the object of our seeking.

And as we do not leave our home and sincerely pursue the goal of our seeking- we are leading just an ordinary life- doing a job- getting some money to raise the family and acquire small or big comforts- have a fat or thin bank balance- have an image of successful- moderately successful- average- less than average- powerful- strong and mostly a weak - so on and so forth- social image.

Seeking may be for wealth- may be for power or may be for fame- seeking may be for such so many things- material and sublime-

But I wonder how & why those great souls left their homes- seeking the truth?

Seeking- one’s true identity- who am I? May be that real identity is the truth and it has to be

sought and discovered

Seeking the omnipresent and omnipotent GOD in each other- because from our early childhood we were told- God dwells in each one of us. God is the real truth. Therefore one may conclude that seeking GOD, means seeking the truth.

Sometimes it is also seeking love- may be some people develop this awareness that LOVE is the only truth as God is paramananda – ever lasting bliss.

Sometimes it is also seeking wisdom from scriptures and Upanishads- because for some people seeking wisdom- seeking knowledge is the only truth;

Thinking about this subject often I get confused. And once I am full with various discoveries I use to leave the search engine to relax and rest in the computer of my mind and switch into another area of thought.

Leading a life of righteousness often made me strong. I did not care failures and also hesitant to show up successes. Silently I make effort to lead a life of understanding, true bonding of love and togetherness.

But I have failed to protect myself from the emotional grip of happenings around and subject myself unknowingly to the anger- fear- frustrations freely.

– I have allowed myself- seeking solace from others in my quest of seeking and realized that I am the cause of most of my hurts, my sorrows and predicaments that I have found myself in.

Once I understood that I felt good- I could able to restrict my seeking- I could able to ignore anger- hatred- I could imbibe tolerance and discipline in my reactions to an event- good positive understanding poured into my heart.

I could know what I was seeking- I could see what really truth is.

If we focus only on our seeking- contemplate with rapt attention- we may recognize the source and goal of our seeking.

Remaining present in this life we all are moving in one direction- seeking happiness, love and peace...

We express it in different languages- different images- different experiences and different needs. But the ultimate seeking is happiness.

We search them in our work, in our thoughts and from our possessions. But often happiness from these sources is limited, temporary and sometimes pseudo.

We are left with the feeing that there must be another better way, which can give us the experience of eternal happiness- the consolidate source of our seeking.

– Bliss is the eternal state of GOD- By seeking happiness from every action and inaction, we go on seeking happiness and ultimately remain merged in it - so seeking happiness may be seeking the truth.

Therefore my Guru says- “Seeking happiness in the company of ever present grace- [which is tremendously powerful, extremely pure, and incredibly sacred] when one looks within, with courage, contentment and steadfastness, one can embrace its inner courage, know his/her own worthiness and merge in his/her own heart – where the radiant light dwells.”

The ultimate path of seeking is through meditation- focusing on the goal of seeking- and find the radiant light within – to be absorbed in the state of that blissful happiness.
